"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Originally posted by 1973 ranger View PostBig fan of Luongo but not our best midfielder by any distance as you put it as does not score enough goals to warrant such praise. Will say he could be our best player if played as a creative player further due to him being 2 footed."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Nas whatever happened to the opinion that he should be able to adapt and play in various positions? You are of that opinion where CW is concerned why not with Luongo? Maybe yet another example of a love in with a player like Ale, Ned and Yeni. Modern midfielders are there to chip in with goals.

Originally posted by nasser95 View PostHe isn't our best, Luongo is by a country mile. It's not even a close battle.
Hopefully Mas will develop into a Premier League player in time, but he's not there yet. Needs to add consistency and goalscoring/assists to his game.

Originally posted by Stanley View PostHe's not a deep midfielder. That's Henry. You need to watch the last two games back - Henry was behind him most of the game, sometimes even playing as sweeper."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Originally posted by hal9thou View PostI'd like to see Massimo and Sandro on the park instead of Massimo and Henry. Not all the time but definitely some of the time."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Originally posted by nasser95 View PostPersonally would rather Ariel and Mass but that's because I don't think Ariel will shirk on his defensive job.
But the point about Scott Parker's dominance in the other thread is well made, allowed to boss the game despite our supposed HMFs and no Sandro ;)
